  1. My guess is it has something to do with the room divider issue you posted about earlier. Try opening up the divider and change the wall type to divider and see if the single line will come back.
  2. I've been using Pro since 2013 for my design business and it is more than sufficient for my needs. I design additions, decks, houses, garages, etc. I've used it to produce over 720 plans and construction documents to date.
  3. The tile can be done a couple of ways. Either use the "break wall" tool where the walls intersect and tile just the section you want. Or you can use a soffit made of the tile material you want and manually place it. For the shower you can try searching for "shower hoop" and see if that works for you. There are several items to select from in the library.
  4. You can send someone a direct message
  5. Try reading up on "ceiling planes" and see if it helps
  6. Go to Edit>Default Settings>Floors and Rooms>Room Types. Click "Edit" and the room names will show up in a list. Take one of the numbered bedrooms and Rename it. If you need numbered rooms in your plan, then change the label as David showed in his video for each bedroom type. You can do this for any of the rooms listed. Just check the Edit label too and verify the room has the structure and function you want. There you can edit the materials and structure for the various room types too. Even a room style that is not common in your area can be changed and edited to something you want to have.
  7. There are pre-designed pergola's in the bonus catalogs. Look at a few and see if they will work for you.
  8. Do them as soffits or closed boxes
  9. Did you try the bonus libraries? There are several catalogs that can be downloaded free or purchased and there's a good chance one might have apple trees. Since the program lists them by scientific name, try this website https://bouldertreecare.com/tree-identification/, Search by the name, then try it in the library. There are several apple tree options
  10. 1st guess is that the basement wall is not aligned with the floor above it? For the terrain, open the drop down box and set the level to what it needs to be. Some time spent reading the reference manual will often answer a lot of your questions.
  11. When you open the program, click on "New Users Start Here". Scroll down until you see the "Reference Manual" link. There you can open it and even better, save the PDF to your desktop so you can refer to it easier.
  12. Spend some time with your reference manual. I would suggest on the roofs, pull them apart so they aren't touching, then try the "match roof" command, which looks like 2 triangles going in opposite directions. The top roof will probably need to be pulled the most so you don't get the message that they can't cross each other. For the posts, go to the rail style for the railings they are on and look at the end and start post setting. They usually default to a half post, yet you can set it to none. Those may help clean this up for you.
  13. 18x24 layout sheet size is in HD Pro 2022. I do my window and door schedules on an excel spread sheet and then copy/paste it into a text box on the plan. That was asked before and should be in the forum with answers.I answered this same question quite a while back. I think Chief Architect Premiere has that function.
  14. Have you thought of setting the top of the window at the rough ceiling height? If you're worried about casing showing, put a very small lintel on the window
  15. All that needed to be done to fix the line in the wall was align the walls. The icon on the lower tool bar was showing, so it's an easy fix.
  16. Go to your wall and look at the roof option. Then you will see where you can click a box to make the area below the roof the wall type you want. You may find more help in your reference manual.
  17. If it doesn't need the door to be angled, you could try going to the shapes library and place a wedge on top of the cabinet. Adjust the legs so it fills the gap between the top of the cabinet and your ceiling. Then you can change the wedge material to the color of your cabinets so it blends in.
  18. The way I do my edging and patio's is with driveways in the terrain section in roads & sidewalks. Once I have it drawn, I make it the material I want for the edging. Then I will transform/replicate it on the Z axis 1/16" and use the resize option to decrease the size. I then make the new layer the patio material, or terrain in your case, and fine tune the border edge I want, usually 4". I hope this helps?

    The same feature is in HD Pro 2023 if you look under the structural section
  20. Try clicking on the string and drag the dimension you don't want to the dimension on either side
  21. Take a look at the "NanaWall" catalog in the bonus catalogs under "Doors & Windows". I believe it's a free download and you can see if it has the door type you need.Or at least something close to show it as it exists.
  22. 2022 came out last year. I just downloaded 2023 this past week. Did you enter your version code for the upgrade? It might be that price due to skipping a year? Without seeing your options on the screen, it's hard to tell what the issue may actually be.
  23. If you're using HD Pro 2022, under stairs, they have U shaped stairs already available. The default is 39" width. You can adjust width and the number of treads for each section to get the layout you want. Good luck
  24. That's fine, yet most municipalities will require any engineered material to have calculations passed in with the permit application before they'll approve a design. So unless you're an engineer, notate those items to be verified by others. A lot of lumberyards can get the calculations from their engineered material suppliers to submit.
  25. The program knows nothing about structural requirements. That is for an engineer to calculate, or you to consult the span charts for your region from the building code.
